For an acute angle θ with 3sinθ = 4cosθ, the value of (4sinθ − 3cosθ)/(2sinθ + 6cosθ) is:

Competition practiceTrigonometry
  • A26/7
  • B1/8
  • C7/26
  • D0

Step-by-Step Solution

The condition says tanθ = 4/3, so sinθ = 4/5 and cosθ = 3/5. The numerator is 16/5 − 9/5 = 7/5 and the denominator is 8/5 + 18/5 = 26/5, giving 7/26. Reading the ratio upside down as tanθ = 3/4 makes the numerator vanish and suggests 0; cancelling the ratios and using the bare coefficients gives 1/8; and inverting the finished fraction gives 26/7.
Answer: C) 7/26

If tanθ = 5/12 and θ is acute, then (1 + sinθ)(1 − sinθ) ÷ [(1 + cosθ)(1 − cosθ)] equals:If 20cotθ = 21 and θ is acute, then (secθ − cosecθ)/(secθ + cosecθ) equals:The value of sin(180° + θ)·cos(90° − θ) + cos(180° − θ)·sin(90° + θ) is:The product tan(90° + θ)·cot(180° − θ) simplifies to:For an acute angle θ, cos(270° − θ) is equal to:
